T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 82, Section 81. Extreme? I don't think so.

The celestial changes caused by the suppression of demons cast a pale purple filter over the azure sky. The flowing water reflecting the sky looked like grape juice being poured on it. If you scooped up a handful and sipped it, the sweet taste would make you feel dazed.

The [Evil Key Immortal] guild is resting by a stream in the valley.

Because the boundary between reality and illusion summons natural disasters at the start, the combined onslaught of native monsters and swarms of scourge insects dramatically increases the intensity of the match.

Less than four hours into the game, they had already experienced nearly ten tough battles of varying sizes.

At the beginning, the power of the Demon Suppression Insect Swarm could be described as weak and fragile.

The only feeling they experienced from the Demon Suppression spell was discomfort, with a burning sensation all over their body when casting it.

As time went on, the suppression of magic began to intensify, and the swarm's physical attributes also improved significantly.

In a battle that just ended, a giant insect resembling an American cockroach, with a fiery appearance similar to the guide, the Flame Sparrow, was attacked.

While fighting, it also flung its seeds to produce countless "fireflies," creating a sky full of them.

The outer shell is rock hard; weapons without enchantment require a series of heavy blows combined with skills to create a nick.

The decapitated creature survived, and its headless charge nearly triggered a deathrattle, taking down a guild member.

If it weren't for the [Fanboy] in the team fearlessly fighting back against it, which was standing upright and wielding scythe-like claws, and accidentally piercing its soft chest and abdomen, causing a spray of thick fluid to erupt, this battle would not have ended.

"As expected of the Cantonese, they are fearless."

The fanatic rolled his eyes at him and retorted, "Do you think we want to be fearless?"

You can't exactly pray to the gods during holidays and Qingming Festival to keep that thing from flying onto your face or bed, can you?

Courage is something that comes out of necessity.

Almost everyone felt the Demon Suppression gradually strengthen, so one can imagine how much these Demon Suppression Insects would grow by the end of the competition.

"It's evil. Isn't it supposed to suppress demons? That thing was on fire just now, it was clearly magic."

"The idea is that suppression of magic and magic can coexist, and magic suppression would be a complete magic insulator."

"So we've encountered a rare individual Demon Suppression Insect?"

"Wait, what if an exceptionally rare, almost magic-suppressing insect appears?"

"Ugh... the magic is ineffective, that's disgusting."

"We're eating, please stop talking about bugs!"

After finally obtaining some ingredients and supplies from the NPC through completing a quest, we cooked a simple and delicious stew of mutton. Just as we were enjoying our meal, our teammates started talking about "bursting juices" and "American cockroaches," getting more and more excited as they went on...

During the main competition, if you don't want to eat a few pieces of fruit every now and then to barely avoid getting hungry, then a meal that can keep you full for several hours is very important.

The five-hour feeling of fullness from the boiled mutton made the entire Xiejianxian Guild extremely satisfied. Even after continuous intense battles, they wouldn't have to worry about hunger for at least three hours.

With 39200 points in hand, they must quickly find the next guide to convert into combat power.

"Guild Master, other guilds are fighting against the Demon Suppression Insects, and it's very intense."

The informant has returned, bringing with him some major news.

The server has only been open for a month, and the competitive aspect has only become formalized in the last half month due to guild wars. The class combinations in guild wars generally have a flavor of imitating and learning from the leading guilds.

The Slanted Key Fairy Guild was configured with Shadow Walkers based on the data of guilds that stood out in the preliminary selection stage.

Upon hearing that there was a way to persuade them, all the members of the Swordsman's Eyes lit up.

Originally, they had planned to let the Shadowman catch his breath and sit down to eat a few bites, but now they simply handed him the pot: "Eat as you go."

The battle took place not far from the valley where Xiejianxian was. After crossing the stream and speeding along a wooded area by the stream, they soon heard the sound of metal clashing in the distance.

It was interspersed with shouts and curses.

So intense!
The leader of the Xiejianxian Association was a steady person. He did not rashly intervene in the battle, but carefully crept up to the vicinity and observed the situation from a distance, relying on the bushes.

A human and a dark elf were circling around a giant, white ant, launching a relentless and fierce attack.

The short knife made contact with the white jade ant's shell, scraping out a series of sparks and producing a piercing sound that made everyone's eardrums vibrate.

The person from Xiejianxian shuddered as they brought up the guild data panel.

"A person at the boundary between reality and illusion!"

"Keep your voice down!" The person next to him immediately covered his mouth.

Fortunately, the boundary between reality and illusion was so focused on dealing with the powerful white jade ant that he had no time to notice the movements around him.

"Brother Fang, did you see anyone else when you were scouting?"

The Shadowman, who had been eating all the way with the pot in his arms, was still wolfing down his food. He shook his head repeatedly: "When I found out, the fighting was about the same as it is now, so there should be no one else around."

Xiejianxian immediately realized that the boundary between the virtual and real worlds had suffered a reduction in personnel, and that five people had been lost at once.

To be fair, many people in the game are fans of the group from the Reality and Illusion Boundary. When the temple coordinates were announced, they really benefited from it. The guide provided by the Reality and Illusion Boundary also allowed them to get the drops from the first three floors.

But this is the main tournament. The top two teams in points will qualify for the World Championship. At this stage, no guild's goal is anything other than those four tickets.

Given the game's quality and groundbreaking symbolic significance, its popularity will be unparalleled, enough to change anyone's destiny.

We can only give the boundary between the virtual and the real one unforgettable fan meeting.

At worst, after eliminating the boundary between virtual and real worlds and advancing to the World Championship, they can simply mention in an interview that they are fans of theirs.

The president of the Slanted Sword Immortals group restrained the restless crowd.

You must not be impatient at this time.

The main tournament rules stipulate that killing guild members will not only earn half the points as in the preliminary rounds, but will earn the full points.

At this point, the virtual-real boundary is ranked 10th on the list, with 80005 points.

The leaderboard is currently topped by [Khorne's Chosen] with 127600 points.

If they can collect the points from the two people at the boundary between reality and illusion, and also defeat this demon-suppressing insect that is clearly a special individual, they can leap to the top of the leaderboard.

They want both humans and demon-suppressing insects!
The white jade ant was already showing signs of fatigue. Under the masterful control of Cyber ​​Potato and the quilt, it was unable to protect itself and was covered in wounds.

With a powerful and imposing strike of the "Backwater" technique, its head slammed heavily to the ground, emitting a shrill scream. The insect then scrambled backward, seemingly trying to escape.

The situation at the boundary between reality and illusion wasn't much better. Dealing with the white jade ants' desperate counterattack left them exhausted, so much so that they didn't have the strength to complete the pursuit and were just panting heavily on the spot.

This gave the white jade ants a glimmer of hope, prompting them to launch an attack.

"go!"

The entire team of the Slanted Keyboard Immortals is charging forward.

The timing they chose was absolutely brilliant; it looked as if they had formed an alliance with the white jade ants to jointly strangle the boundary between reality and illusion.

They, on the other hand, can first eliminate the boundary between the virtual and real worlds, and then take the points from the White Jade Ants, killing two birds with one stone.

The blessing of the wind granted the Slash Fairies incredible speed, and they pounced upon them in the blink of an eye, but...

"again."

The gloating tone from the person in bed was chilling.

"Oh no, they're in cahoots!"

Jiang Heyi slightly turned to the side, and the Immaculate Tyrant didn't seem injured at all. When he saw the Slanting Sword Immortal who was coming to his door, his eyes turned blood red, and he rushed towards him like a speeding train.

One of the members of the Slanted Sword Immortal, still immersed in the joy of "harvest" and not yet recovered, was left somewhat bewildered by the Immaculate Tyrant's upper jaw, and his body was crushed.

Just as they were about to huddle together after their formation was disrupted, someone suddenly tripped over a foot that appeared out of nowhere from under the covers.

The unfortunate fellow, his attention diverted, collapsed to the ground and was struggling to get up when the Unsullied rushed in. In an instant, both were dead.

The boundary between virtual and real data has increased by another 8100 points.

"withdraw!"

The leader of the Slanted Sword Immortals was calm; with his calculated strategy against the unsuspecting, they had already lost.

The competition is still in its early stages; there's no need to fight to the death so soon.

The two casualties are already a sunk cost; it's not worth risking your chance to advance for them.

Just as he guessed, the boundary between reality and illusion was no longer pursued.

With only two people left, the huge numerical disadvantage meant they didn't have the courage to fight to the end. All they wanted at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds was the points to revive their teammates; taking advantage of the situation was enough for them.

After escaping a sufficient distance and confirming that there were no pursuers, the people of Xiejianxian were finally able to catch their breath.

"How despicable! People on the boundary between the virtual and the real are so insidious."

"Where did they get that bug to help them in battle?"

"Is that even a question? The guides sell all sorts of strange and unusual items."

"Wait, all that's left at the boundary between reality and illusion is Potato and a blanket... Wow, my Tea God is dead!"

Orange Tea, which rose to fame with its giveaway video, has already gained its own followers.

"I also hope that the Tea God will bless the guild so that it can meet its guide soon..."

"Guild Master, I've found the Guide ahead!" The Shadowman returned, bringing good news.

"what?"

Could it be another group of people from a different guild cosplaying and trying to scam people?
Having developed some psychological trauma from the boundary between the real and the virtual, this time the Sword Immortal only dared to send one person to test the waters.

After confirming that he was indeed the guide, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's consider it an offering to the Tea God."

"8100 points... plus two people, the Tea God has quite an appetite."

The spectators outside the arena were overjoyed to see the Boundary Between Reality and Illusion trick two guilds and kill five unlucky guys through the Immaculate Tyrant.

This kind of unconventional strategy is the easiest to create memes, and you can imagine how many fan-made creations will be born after tomorrow's match.

Jiang Heyi and the quilt were not immersed in the joy of the plan succeeding for the second time.

They are currently in the awkward situation of not being able to find a guide. They have a huge sum of money but cannot spend it or revive others, which means they have been working in vain.

If only I had some points left, one [Guiding Firefly] could have eased my predicament a little.

Jiang Heyi didn't even dare to think about going to the guide points marked on the map.

The strategy of camping the guide appeared more than once in the preliminary rounds. No matter how powerful the Immaculate Tyrant was, if the opponent attacked the two of them, all it could do was cause the opposing guild heavy losses and lose its chance to advance.

"【Barrel Water God Luo】, rolls the dice of fate."

"Fate... has been set in motion."

Serial Number: 300

"【Degraded - All-Seeing Eye】"

"Within one minute, all players will be revealed to be in their own positions."

The system's notification sound echoed throughout the stadium.

Jiang Heyi was taken aback, then immediately realized: "This is the power of the Crystal Witch."

A buzzing sound rang out, and he opened the map, where red dots representing players and their names appeared on the projected screen.

At that moment, the leaderboard updated the status of all guilds. Pulling down the interface between the virtual and real worlds, you could see five grayed-out names, meaning they had been eliminated.

The degraded All-Seeing Eye did not reveal the guild's class composition, which is a good thing for some guilds.

Aside from the [Slanting Key Immortal] who was moving away, the closest thing to them around the boundary between reality and illusion was...

Jiang Heyi broke out in a sweat as he looked at that name.

Khorne's Chosen

Jiang Heyi is not someone who is afraid of challenges, but with only two people and a depleted team, he was able to fight against seven berserkers who had managed to break through the preliminary rounds and even hold the top spot in the early stages of the main competition. So, he was somewhat at a disadvantage.
Given their personalities, the moment their coordinates are revealed will be the moment they set off.

Strangely, after a brief pause, the chosen ones of Khorne moved away from the boundary between reality and illusion and charged toward another guild.

Jiang Heyi vaguely remembered that guild; it was the [Gaia Consciousness] that people used to criticize their performance in the score calculation.

Why go to the far-fetched option when the nearest one is so close?
After one minute, the map once again showed only the red marker indicating the user's location.

With his coordinates exposed and a huge sum of money (88105) in hand, Jiang Heyi quickly mounted the Immaculate Tyrant and teleported away.

Upon reaching the vicinity of a damp woodland, and having cleared the virtual and real boundaries of several demon-suppressing insect swarms, their score had reached exactly 10.

When orange tea was around, I never realized that guides were so hard to find...

Why did they start getting so moldy without orange tea?

"Master, there is a village ahead," the Immaculate Tyrant reminded him.

"A village, in such a damp forest?" Jiang Heyi urged quickly, "Let's go take a look, hurry."

In the dark, damp woodland, the small wooden house was clearly visible in the distance.

The wood, damp and sticky, is a dark brown color, instantly conjuring up images of unpleasant mold upon sight, creating an immersive experience.

Those who can live in such an environment are not ordinary people... oh, they are not even human.

These are a group of creatures that are half-human and half-frog.

According to the Stars' information, they belong to the frogman race, and the highly hybrid subspecies exhibits the characteristics of a frog's head, human body, and hunchback.

In rare cases, a series of tumor-like blisters may grow on the body, which may burst on their own in critical moments, releasing hallucinogens that can be fatal.

The sudden arrival of the boundary between reality and illusion attracted a large crowd of frogmen.

A frogman, leaning on a bone cane and wearing a colorful bird feather headdress and necklace, came out.

"Strangers, is there anything we can do to help you?"

"These NPCs that exist in the competition venue are also an important source of points."

The description of Flame Sparrow is as follows.

However, players have their own interpretation of this statement.

For example, the Chosen of Khorne chose to kill all NPCs except for the Guide.

The boundary between reality and illusion isn't that extreme... Of course, it's also related to the fact that there's no need to waste time on these small points in the early stages of the game.

Jiang Heyi jumped off the Immaculate Tyrant and got straight to the point: "I want to know where there are any guides around here."

"If you can give me 1 points, I'd be happy to provide you with this information."

Jiang Heyi changed her mind.

The Chosen Ones' approach does seem to have some merit.

　I have some personal matters to attend to today, so there will only be one update. I'll add some commentary later, and there will be two updates tomorrow.
